Inhalt :: Content Online-Service mit Zugang zu sämtlichen Ausgaben der britischen Wochenzeitung The Sketch von der Gründung im Februar 1893 als „leichtere“ Schwesterpublikation der Illustrated London News (ILN) bis zur Einstellung des Blattes im Jahr 1958. Im Gegensatz zu den ernsten Nachrichtenmagazinen war The Sketch unterhaltsam, humorvoll und legte einen massiven Fokus auf visuelle Inhalte (Fotografien und Karikaturen). Inhaltliche Schwerpunkte bildeten Themen wie Theater, High Society, Mode, Sport (besonders Pferderennen), Klatsch und Tratsch sowie Kunst. Das Blatt richtete sich an die gehobene Gesellschaft (High Society), die Aristokratie und das wohlhabende Bürgertum. Das Archiv enthält tausende Porträts von „Society Ladies“, Schauspielern und königlichen Familienmitgliedern, was es zu einer erstklassigen Quelle für Mode- und Kostümgeschichte macht. |

Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information First published in 1893, The Sketch belonged to a series of periodicals under the ownership of The Illustrated London News (ILN). Clement Shorter and William Ingram (former editor and managing director, respectively, of the ILN) established the magazine, which centred primarily on British high society and attracted a wealthy audience. Replete with photographs and illustrations, and featuring contributions on fashion, literature, and gossip, The Sketch provided extensive coverage of aristocratic and celebrity culture for nearly seven decades. Generally, it adopted a light-hearted tone. This collection contains almost 170,000 images from approximately 3,500 issues of The Sketch, published between May 1893 and December 1958. Over the course of its existence, it printed the work of many eminent artists, including the renowned watercolourist Helen Allingham, celebrated crime novelist Agatha Christie, and George E. Studdy, creator of the famous "Bonzo the Dog" cartoons. Nevertheless, as with several other publications owned by the ILN during this period (notably The Sphere, 1900-1964 and The Bystander, 1903-1940), The Sketch remained a staunch defender of Britain’s imperial project, and often reflected the racist and xenophobic attitudes widely prevalent in Britain during these years. Therefore, whilst this collection provides useful material for those studying and researching the history of art, literature, and print culture, it also sheds light on the history of imperialism, colonialism, and slavery, and their representation within Britain’s most affluent circles. |
